Tier 1

Have a wide user base among users of the NeSI Compute and Analytics Service, either because they are used by many users within one or many Projects or are easy to install.

Are centrally installed, tested (including scaling), optimised, documented and upgraded as new versions become available.

The NeSI Applications and/or Computational Science Team staff often (but not always) have in-depth knowledge of the application science – in which case they can provide specialist support to researchers. However, if no in-depth knowledge is available in the team(s), this does not prevent an application from being in Tier 1.

Support documentation will be provided, including licensing information and scaling data etc.
